Figure 1 - Image of L. monocytogenes bacteria.

L. monocytogenes is a food-borne bacterium that leads to listeriosis; it is the third most common foodborne bacterial pathogen. It can be found in raw vegetables, meat, raw or unpasteurized milk, and dairy products containing such milk. Those at greatest risk include newborn babies (in which listeriosis often results in sepsis and/or meningitis), pregnant mothers, elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, such as HIV patients. Symptoms include nausea, fever, and diarrhea, with a mortality rate of 20-30%. Its fatality rates can surpass those of Salmonella. As a Gram-positive facultative anaerobe, L. monocytogenes is able to survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It expresses the protein beta hemolysin, and is thus able to destroy the host's red blood cells. L. monocytogenes contains D-galactose residues on its surface that interact with D-galactose receptors of the host's intestinal cells, allowing the bacteria to move past the intestinal walls into the host's body. Another protein, internalin, also interacts with intestinal cell proteins to allow entry and invasion. Once it has invaded, the bacterium moves swiftly through the host cell and multiplies, often passing through the blood-brain barrier.
